French acting icon Catherine Deneuve will receive this year’s Chaplin Award in April in New York. The annual gala, hosted by the Film Society of Lincoln Center, will take place April 2. With a career that has spanned five decades and more than 100 films, Deneuve’s roles have included Jacques Demy’s classic The Umbrellas Of Cherbourgh (1964), Roman Polanski’s Repulsion (1965) and later Indochine (1992), which earned her an Oscar nomination and her second César Award. Sidney Poitier received the award last year.

Class move Lincoln Center. Beautiful international movie star of the glamorous kind they don’t make anymore. Don’t forget “A Christmas Tale” one of the best movies of the new century and she gives an amazing performance humanizing an unsympathetic character. Part of the Criterion Collection.
